Computer-related introductions in 1986

Tag Image File Format or Tagged Image File Format, commonly known by the abbreviations TIFF or TIF, is an image file format for storing raster graphics images, popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry, and photographers. TIFF is widely supported by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition, image manipulation, desktop publishing, and page-layout applications.

thumb|A Sun Microsystems|Sun [[UltraSPARC II microprocessor (1997)]] SPARC (Scalable Processor ARChitecture) is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture originally developed by Sun Microsystems. Its design was strongly influenced by the experimental Berkeley RISC system developed in the early 1980s. First developed in 1986 and released in 1987, SPARC was one of the most successful early commercial RISC systems, and its success led to the introduction of similar RISC designs from many vendors through the 1980s and 1990s. After acquiring Sun, Oracle Corporation ende

ZMODEM is an inline file transfer protocol developed by Chuck Forsberg in 1986, in a project funded by Telenet in order to improve file transfers on their X.25 network. In addition to dramatically improved performance compared to older protocols, ZMODEM offered restartable transfers, auto-start by the sender, an expanded 32-bit CRC, and control character quoting supporting 8-bit clean transfers, allowing it to be used on networks that would not pass control characters.

The Didaktik was a series of 8-bit home computers based on the clones of Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80 processors produced by Didaktik in Skalica, in the former Czechoslovakia.

ProFont is a monospace font available in many formats. It is intended to be used for programming in IDE environments and it is available in bitmap and TrueType versions for various platforms.

The TK 95 microcomputer was a 1986 ZX Spectrum clone by Microdigital Eletrônica, a company located at São Paulo, Brazil. It was an evolution of the TK90X introduced the previous year.

The MB86900 is a microprocessor produced by Fujitsu, which implements the SPARC V7 instruction set architecture developed by Sun Microsystems. It was the first implementation of SPARC, introduced in 1986, and was used in the first SPARC-based workstation, the Sun Microsystems Sun-4, from 1987. Its chipset operated at 16.67 MHz. The chipset consisted of two chips, the MB86900 microprocessor and the MB86910 floating-point controller. The chip set was implemented with two 20,000-gate, 1.2 μm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) gate-arrays fabricated by Fujitsu Lim
